From Manufacturer
The Bluefish444 Epoch | Neutron with External Audio I/O & RS-422 features three bidirectional HD/SD-SDI connectors, an HDMI monitoring output, and a breakout cable connector. An included breakout cable adds RS-422, auxiliary reference input, AES/EBU input/output, and analog audio connections. Also, one of the three SDI ports can be set up as a reference input instead of a video I/O, so you have a choice between using an onboard connector or the breakout cable for reference input. The card supports up to DCI 2K/60 resolution video input and output with extremely low latency of sub on field or frame.
The Epoch | Neutron is an internal full-height, half-length 4-lane PCIe card compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, but it can also be installed in optional Thunderbolt enclosures from Sonnet and other brands for alternate multimedia workflow options, including integration with a second PCIe card, such as a PCIe-based SSD drive or RAID controller. Included with the card is a free download of the Bluefish444 IngeSTore acquisition software and Bluefish444 cross-platform SDK.
Other features of the card include embedded audio support, high-performance bypass relays, 4 x 4 x 33-bit color matrix, 12-bit video signal path, hardware downstream keyer, full-duplex DMA data transfer, and 256MB of onboard memory.
The Epoch | Neutron can be used for broadcast graphics, post-production, and live events, as well as digital intermediate, mobile-production, QC, video-over-IP, and streaming workflows among many others.
